Glad Powell makes A full shape now.
The early ones were pointy and terrible.

It's night and day - that 'pulled nose' was garbage.

The full is nicely rounded with the right amount of meat widthwise and the nose isn't overly long in the midsection like most brands (creature).

SWEET! yeah, it came in 8.125 and 8.38 (ish), now that you've reminded me of it I've got it on my radar (plus 15+ other boards), will go and check it out as I'll be in Tokyo in 2 weeks time. I'm sorta in the same boat as you except I want similar dimensions with a square-ish nose that I can buy without supporting Dill  or buying PS wood (so no Quasi right) Someone on here a while back said hockey boards feel like OG adrenalins which is a major tease for me. I see doom sayers has an 8.4 shovel nose, who does their wood?

edit: theories is now sold out, did Jerry pull the trigger on it?
edit2: What about that Raney 8.28 shaped board that came out a while back? I'd actually love one of them
edit3: I'd break my no PS six rule if I could find one of these: https://www.streetplantbrand.com/shop/jett-dragon/
pretty much prefect shape/ dimensions right there!

Why don't you like PS wood? I've never heard of anyone not loving it?

I have :p nothing personal really as I’m currently on a welcome and it’s probably just slap OCD kicking in. Just looking for some change and want to go back to generator or try south central (new northern co. boards look yum). Having said that I would rock that street plant in a heartbeat and Al Davis’ new board on quasi looks amazing so I think I’ll just look at like 20 boards in the flesh and then make my (indecisive) mind up.

Beautiful colour combination, also looks fun as hell

[Jonny Utah]

All I want is a shaped board with a 8.3 width at the widest, a slight 90's football shape, a 14 or 14.25 wheelbase, and not a terrible graphic.  Is that too much to ask for? Can anyone help me out?!

Fucking fresh m8. (-1 for messup...I mean jessup

[shit_for_brains]

I just switched to Mob from Jessup because I got sick of doodoo edges but holy fuck I don't know how you guys skate this. I miss the slippery dirty notebook paper feel of jessup.

Just sand the whole thing with the cut off bits and your board will feel weeks old instantly.

I've recently started doing this and it does make brand new MOB feel a bit more workable

As a jessup lifer, I’ve gone with MOB M80 a couple times with my last few boards and really like it. Pretty similar grit to jessup just easier to apply & the edges don’t get messed up as much. A lot of times it comes with a MOB cutout at the tail but I’ve been able to get some without it if I ask at the shop

Been on m-80 probably 90% of the time but switched to OG mob when I was wearing adidias and DC (shoes with the white soles) as those shoes suck for grip. Currently on OG mob and vans, so nice!

I gripped a deck a few weeks ago with MOB and it felt bad, like used jessup.

I recently tried some of the all black M80. It was way thinner than I remember the die-cut being. Thinner, lighter, just as grippy and my bolts didn’t dig into the grip and spiral like they sometimes do. I probably won’t skate anything else going forward.

[planman]

I could no longer stand riding the Snack board, as much as I wanted to like it, the tail was too fucking long (also I threw it cuz I landed primo on my bad ankle and it kinda started delaminating) so I'm back to my old 8.375 Polar. I took the rails out and filled the holes with shoe goo.

Side note: I balanced it on the back of my chair from my bed since it's lofted and I'm too lazy to leave it.

Nice Set up. Do all snacks have big tails like that? Always wanted to try one ever since the deck with the old bucks logo was out.

Side bar: that chair looks like the ones from my dorm room in college.

As a fellow nerd, I can tell just by looking that those rails are too close to the edge to be functional for slides.

[art hellman]

You setups are always clean Art!

ha. thanks. 

this Scum Co. deck seems custom made for me.

Looks fine to me..

unless the board has some super steep concave, anything 1/2" off the sides works fine

[Bizarro Jerry]

Ran that same exact chocolate 2 times in a row. I love that shape, actually just ordered another Eldrigde chocolate deck the other day.  It's a comfortable 8.25 with a nice little 14" wheelbase making flip tricks a breeze.  Also it's only 31.625" long so it doesn't feel too awkward witht the small wheelbase.  Would skate that shape for the rest of my life if I could.
